Most pedestrian fatalities occur at dusk or at night when visibility is low. Help prevent these tragedies by following these tips:

As a driver:

• Be extra vigilant at dusk—it’s harder to see pedestrians.
• Watch for pedestrians at corners and mid-block crosswalks.
• Slow down and scan for movement in the dark.

As a pedestrian:

• Avoid dark clothing that blends into your surroundings. Wear bright colors during the day and light or reflective gear at night.
• Carry a flashlight or use a headlamp when it’s dark, rainy, foggy, or overcast.
• Together, we can make Oregon’s streets safer for everyone.

Driving can be especially challenging in low visibility caused by nighttime conditions, heavy snow, fog, rain, or smoke. Follow these tips to stay safe:

• Slow down and disengage cruise control.
• Use low beams; high beams can worsen visibility in fog or snow.
• If equipped, turn on rear fog lamps to help others see you.
• Avoid entering areas where you can’t see a safe distance ahead.
• If visibility is severely limited, pull off the road completely, turn off your lights, and activate your emergency flashers.

Remember: never stop in travel lanes during low-visibility conditions.
